Researchers at Embodied Interaction have proposed cutting as a novel paradigm for ad-hoc customization of printed electronic components. As a first instantiation, they have contributed a printed capacitive multi-touch sensor, which can be cut by the end-user to modify its size and shape. This very direct manipulation allows the end-user to make real-world objects and surfaces touch-interactive, to augment physical prototypes, and to enhance paper craft.
